day last one OF Berry d Boyce's cowboys,
Black Smith, Q bad man and general
peace disturber, came. into Browns sA-
loon, at MiningsVille, and demanded $50
OF Brown, saying he would Kill him If he
did not ct once give him the money. Brown
had had some trouble with Smith during
the summer. and, a. Smith was evidently
drunk, endeavored TO quiet him, and
nnally succeeded in getting him out OF the
saloon. There was no weapon IN the ga
loon but q double-barreled shotgun,
loaded with fine shot. and that was IN
such Q position at the time Smith was
threatening Brown with q revolver that he
could no: get to IL without running the
risk of being shot down. As soon
Iaff ID
secured the gun and was about to place il
within reach should occasion arise for
using IL, when he saw Smith again ap-
preaching, revolver in hand. Brown
stepped TO the door and ordered Smith to
60 away and not trouble him. But the
warning was UNDECIDED, and when Smith
was within ten feet Brown fired q double
charge Of shot at him, which only stag
Rered Smith. who attempted to shoot.
Brown closed in on him, and, clubbing
Smith over the head with the shotgun,
laid him out. Brown Immediately went

ingsville people consider the killing justi
fable, a. IL was q case of self preservA-
sion. Brown enjoys Q good reputation
among his townspeople and Block Smith
was we'll known a. Q bad man. It lie
thought he will be vindicated by the COR
Oner's jury.
